The Center Education Foundation was founded in 1999 with the purpose of enhancing educational opportunities for children in the Center School District in South Kansas City, Missouri. The Foundation provides grants to teachers in the District who have requested funds to support projects that extend the educational program provided through the District budget.

The Center School District serves families in the South part of Kansas City, Missouri. Our student population is highly diverse with a significant percentage of students coming from low to middle income families. A fundamental goal of the District is to provide educational opportunities that help our students prepare to be productive citizens in a rapidly changing world.

The Foundation is governed by a Board of Directors consisting of community leaders who share a vision for quality education.
